New York loves Savannah

"I would just like Savannah to know that last evening 10 New York City police officers and firefighters planned to march in the St Patrick's parade today. They were scheduled to leave Friday evening via air but due to the weather, their flight was canceled. Not to be daunted by this small detail they began their long drive to Georgia arrinving about 8a.m. ready to march at 10 a.m. They are dressed in their New York City uniforms. Two of them are brothers, Daniel Magee, a police officer and Sean Magee, a firefighter are joined with their police and firefighter brothers. They are looking for some warm southern hospitality following the NY ice storm. Have a great day!"

Thanks for the note. We love New York.

As is usually the case, the crowd went nuts for the FDNY when they went by a few minutes ago.
